A song that encompasses your character’s essence in while they were attending Hogwarts.
Caution - The Killers
Coming from a neglectful home, Daphne was the person who felt the wrath of her father. All she wanted was to get out and make her own life. The song tells the story about a girl who has decided to take a great risk, but also knowing it can go terribly wrong. For her it was to leave the etablished and privillaged pureblood life and views for a life where she could make her own decisions.
Their feelings towards the Battle of Hogwarts, or its aftermath.
Youth - Daughter
The song is about loss and how something like that can become a big part of someones life. Daphne often reflected on the meaningless loss of life during the war. How her views mirrored those who took those lives. “The Lovers that Went Wrong”. Was the regret of losing her first love, how the war tore them apart. After the war, she was out of the Greengrass household as soon as she could get herself a job. The war and the battle of Hogwarts haunted her for years afterwards. She took it upon herself to keep a group of young students safe and fought two Death Eaters by herself. That’s also the day she realised she was going to die one day and truly lost her innocense. She felt like she was one of the lucky ones who could walk away with her life intact.
Your character’s most major or pivotal life event
Some Die Young - Laleh
In 2014 at the age of 34 Daphne became a widow. Her husband Pierre died a horrible death from illness. He was also 34, and died decades before his time. The song mirrors her wanting to keep Pierre alive for herself and their only child through the memories and stories of him. After he died she was in a dark place for a very long time, and it still hangs over her like a constant black cloud. She would beg him as he was dying to not leave her. The anger over his early death is something she will never shake, nor the scar of the open wound it left. It also reminds her of all those who died during the war who died before their time. Her regret for not listening to her premonition, that she tried to tell herself it was lying. Telling herself she could have prevented it.
A song that encompasses your character’s essence in the present.
Always Remember Us This Way - Lady Gaga
Despite it having been years since he died, Daphne misses Pierre every second of every day. He can only be visited through memories and dreams now. Daphne holds onto the memories of when they were a happy family, and their daughter is the only thing that is left of him in this world. Some days she still cries as much as she did when he died, but she knows that life isn’t over just cause he isn’t in hers anymore. Life has to be lived despite it all, their daughter need her mother and perhaps she’ll find love in her life again. If she does, she’ll love him as much as she did when he was alive.
i just saw daphne fitz at the florence. don’t you think she looks like fola evans akingbola? anyway, she’s a twenty nine year old photographer, and she moved away, but came back three months ago to live with her parents for financial reasons. she did graduate in 2007.
Hi! I’m Dove, and this is Daphne, and I’m just in general super excited about this group. Here’s a lil short breakdown of Daphne’s life in bullets -
She was put into foster care when she was very young, and when she was five, the Fitz’s, who were her foster parents, adopted her. Her family was very loving and supportive, but growing up there was nothing Daphne wanted more than to get the hell out of Padstow.
She was a good student, and worked very hard in school, but she wasn’t necessarily the “teacher’s pet” type. Daphne was more of the student who argued with the teacher, and got her fair share of detentions. She didn’t like school, but she did like learning, and she knew that she needed to get good grades and study if she wanted to get out of town.
After high school, she moved to Juneau, Alaska to major in marine biology at the University of Alaska. During college, she started getting into photography, specifically wildlife and nature photography. After graduation, she got a research job but quit to do freelance photography. She’s traveled all over the country and outside of it as well for her work.
Six months ago, she had her last job, and spent three months looking for more work before she ended up moving back to Padstow to live with her parents. She’s been doing some photography, but nothing she really enjoys, and not enough to get her own place.
Some potential connection ideas : Friends from high school, someone she had a kind of competitive relationship with (trying to be top of the class, that kind of thing), exes (I think Daphne probably only had one or two relationships in high school, maybe someone she broke up with before she left for college and didn’t really contact after that), childhood friends, someone she had an antagonistic relationship with in school, and I’m definitely open to other ideas!

She has a period of drinking and partying a lot and drug abuse, and after an overdose turns into a huge scandal she gets sent to Lima
No, her parents don’t care that she was in the hospital, they care about their own image

She ends up befriending Quinn even though they’re polar opposites
Song Ask: Welcome to New York, Clean, All you had to do was Stay
Welcome To New York: Daphne Dwyer
It's a new soundtrack I could dance to this beat // The lights are so bright but they never blind me
When we first dropped our bags on apartment floors // Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer // Everybody here was someone else before // And you can want who you want // Boys and boys and girls and girls
Clean: Arianne Martin x Brett Talbot
Ten months sober, I must admit // Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it // Ten months older I won't give in // Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it
Rain came pouring down when I was drowning // That's when I could finally breathe // And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore // Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm
All You Had To Do Was Stay: Fallon Parris Jones x Sweet Pea
People like you always want back the love they gave away // And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed
Stay, hey, all you had to do was stay // Had me in the palm of your hand // Then, why'd you had to go and lock me out when I let you in
People like you always want back the love they pushed aside // But people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye
Send me a song and I’ll tell you which OC(s) it fits best
leader/ follower / in between, this bitch follows the beat of her own drum.
empathetic / unemphatic/ in between, honestly it depends if she likes you or not.
optimistic / pessimistic/ in between, she's one of those snarky types.
traditional / modern / in between.
hard-working / lazy / in between.
